Russia has positive expirience in having own linux distos forks (Rosa, Alt, ...), that's why I thought they'll also pick up some fork and will maintain it.
I'm guessing this isn't a state initiative though, but just a particular company looking at the cheapest way to get off Android. I do expect both Russia and China are going to start investing heavily in Linux at state level though since any proprietary stuff like Windows is now seen as a national security risk. So we could see a nice boost for open source going forward.
